Chapter 900: Chapter 900 Dean Gu Deceived Us_1 Chapter 900: Chapter 900 Dean Gu Deceived Us_1 “I really don’t want to admit this fact.” Tong Sanlang couldn’t help but raise his hand and rub his face.

For Yang Wang and Cen Hong to steal the explosives, that’s truly a compliment to their abilities.

“It was them,” Qiao Xiaomai said with absolute certainty.

Tong Sanlang looked at her, as if she wished she could skin them alive, and couldn’t help but smile slightly as he patted her on the shoulder, “Don’t get angry over these people, it’s not worth it. The emperor emeritus will send someone to investigate this matter. If it really was them who stole it, they won’t be able to escape.”

Upon hearing this, Xiaomai blinked and couldn’t help but sigh.

If those two were capable of stealing explosives, would Yang Wenxiao’s investigation really turn up anything?

“I want to be malicious, I want to curse those two to explode on the spot,” she ground her teeth after sighing.

When Tong Sanlang heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up more, and he patted her shoulder again, saying, “Stop talking like a child.”

“Then when do you think they buried the explosives in the backyard?” Xiaomai asked, “Yesterday morning, Wang Tiesheng and his wife cleaned the backyard. It should not have been buried yet.”

If it was gunpowder that exploded upon stepping on it, then Wang Tiesheng and his wife wouldn’t be of this world by now.

“Maybe they were just lucky and didn’t step on it,” Tong Sanlang said.

Xiaomai blinked and couldn’t help but touch her chin, her eyes narrowing thoughtfully, “What about today? It snowed, the snow was too deep. When those students came, Wang Tiesheng and his wife were clearing the snow in the front yard, and I asked the servants to clear the snow in the backyard.”

“At that time, nobody thought there were explosives buried there, everyone was walking around chaotically, and also during the banquet just now, one of the tables was placed next to the explosives.”

“A whole table of people sitting right next to the explosives, you saw the scene just now, they were eating merrily, with no regard for proper seating, running around everywhere.”

“Were they also so lucky as to not step on it?”

Upon hearing this, Tong Sanlang thought of a possibility and hesitantly said, “You mean…”

“What I mean is, with today’s chaos, hundreds of people walking around the backyard without stepping on the bomb, the word ‘luck’ simply doesn’t explain it,” Xiaomai said, her eyes narrowing, a dangerous glint flickering within.

“There is only one truth, that bomb wasn’t the kind as described by Chancellor Gu, that would explode upon stepping. Chancellor Gu deceived us all.”

When Tong Sanlang heard that, he fell silent for a moment and then spoke, “The explosives should have been the kind that needed fire to ignite and explode. Yuanbao, the coachman, accidentally knocked over the brazier, and it was the charcoal fire that ignited the explosives.”

Xiaomai nodded and showed an approving expression to Tong Sanlang, “Then the question is, why would Chancellor Gu deceive us?”

“He didn’t deceive us; he deceived everyone,” Tong Sanlang said, “The legends about the explosives are actually quite scarce, but all of them are mystical. Being the emperor emeritus’s man, he probably said that to maintain the mystery.”

“Then I have another question, you also saw the pit, nearly three meters deep, the power is massive, the nearby wall was blown off, why did Yuanbao, a coachman, only injure one leg? Don’t you think his luck is a bit too suspicious?”

Upon hearing that, the corners of Tong Sanlang’s mouth couldn’t help but rise again, “I thought so too, which is why when I was cleaning his wound just now, I quietly applied a little medicine on his leg.”

“Hm?” Hearing that, Xiaomai couldn’t help but widen her eyes, “What medicine?”
